This is allowed in CT.When Do Landlords Have To Return Security Deposits?

Quote from @Shane Baganz: Most landlords would do fine with a spreadsheet.

He just turned 68 and is ready to be done in an active role as a self-managed landlord for all of his properties. 

I do not accept personal checks under any circumstances for these move-in funds.This agreement is between_________________________________________, hereafter referred to as “Prospective Tenant(s),” and ____________________________, hereafter referred to as “Landlord.”Landlord acknowledges receipt of payment in the amount of $___________ from Prospective Tenant(s) as a non-refundable binder for the property listed above.

This is something that Landlord Studio does, too, and it's something I really miss.

Knowing zoning laws, property taxes, and landlord-tenant laws will help you navigate potential pitfalls.To expand your knowledge, engage with real estate investing websites and forums such as Bigger Pockets.

Are other fellow landlords and property managers seeing the same?

It’s the simplest way to get a feel of what it is like to be a landlord without going through the hassle of managing rehab projects especially when you're investing out-of-state. 

Personally there are some really strong suburb areas that I would much rather invest into than Phila - lots of it is due to better landlord policy, higher demand for rentals, less competition for rentals, less headache than dealing with Phila, higher quality tenants and less risky.

I understand that at a minimum, I HAVE to register in CA since that's where the property is, but the lawyer is indicating that NV's a friendlier environment for Landlords so I should register in NV and just "do business" in CA.My questions are:  Is there a material benefit to registering in NV and then also CA?
